The story
Rio de Janeiro’s Escadaria Selarón is a beloved tourist attraction, earning a 4.6-star rating for its vibrant tiles from around the world. Creator Luke Martin calls it "a famous tourist attraction covered in vibrant tiles," a scenic and Instagrammable landmark that draws visitors to Santa Teresa.
Yet the fame comes with foot traffic. Martin notes the staircase is "very crowded," and warns that "you need to be careful of pickpockets." The experience is as much about navigating the throngs as admiring the artistry—a colorful, cautious visit for those prepared.
